The Zealandia-Havaiki Secession also known as the Zealandia Independence War, was a conflict beginning on May 29th, 2024. It was oriented around Zealandia, a seceding nation based in Port Jason, which was a town previously governed by the Republic of Havaiki.

History

Beginning

The conflict began on the 29th of May when the mayor of Port Jason (Baconmayonaise1) held an independence vote. When the results returned in favor of independence, Zealandia, a sovereign entity separate from the Republic of Havaiki was established. The split lead the Havaikians to release a public denunciation.

Battle of Atua

The Battle of Atua took place on the 2nd of June and was an attack by the Zealandians on Havaiki. An estimated peak of 15 players were involved in the clash, both nations suffering an undocumented number of casualties. The motivation behind the attack allegedly stemmed from a Havaikian who entered Zealandian territory and threw out insults.

Ceasefire

Following the Battle of Atua, on June 3rd, a ceasefire was called, although it was later disregarded.

June 7th Pilbara Attack

The June 7th Pilbara Attack was an on-foot invasion of Zealandia by the Pilbarans. It began with 4 Pilbaran troops who likely ventured from the southern tip of Te Ika-a-Māui to New Plymouth, where a standoff between defending Zealandians and attacking Pilbarans began. The standoff eventually escalated into a short battle which ended a reported 4 or 3 casualties for Pilbara and 0 for Zealandia (although a Zealandian was killed before the standoff while the troops were in transit).

However, in the subsequent phases of the conflict, The Himalayas chose to become neutral.
